We’re pouring out two ounces in this episode, one for Farrah Fawcett and another for Michael Jackson, wondering how the new King of Pop will be crowned. In the Michael Jackson vein, we have stories about Americans using plastic surgery to improve their job prospects and a man who mistreats the children in his neighborhood. Don’t stop till you get enough.

This special milestone episode features a special McG retrospective courtesy of Mike Boudet from ErotoToys.com. We move on to our question of the week from the Big Mouths Podcast, a new undergarment for men that no one will buy, and a job offer to make a dog disappear, and a call on the Danger Line: get ready for your little cyborg beer-pouring buddy. Why do soccer fans blow horns non-stop during matches? We wonder in the after-show outtakes. The children seem to not like this.
Episode 149: The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh

Clip Show IV: A New Hope. These are outtakes and clips taken out of other shows, as if we actually edit them. These outtakes are about the 1979 basketball movie that gives this episode its title, a Chicago toolbox who rents his Ferrari for minutes at a time, and clips from our recent wizard rock furor, including an original song by 26 (which is after the outro music, making it an outtake of an outtake). Capital Z also explains to McG who Nick Starr is.
Episode 148: No Can Do
June 19th, 2009 § 0
Some automation is so unnecessary that Rube Goldberg himself would do a facepalm if he were able to witness it. This month, the Japanese lay Pancake Robot on us, and we speculate as to how else to repurpose it to justify spending whatever amount that you would have spent on it. We field some tough calls on the Danger Line and wonder how we might dress up chickens. Close out your spring with some radiation from your stereo.
Episode 147: Daiquiri To Go

If you like the drink in your hand now, imagine how awesome it would taste if you drove two states away to get it – two huge states away. Man’s best friend bogarts his master’s stash – wait, strike that. He just found it in the woods. He was also holding it for a friend. Also, as much as we try to get away from the Potter talk, the drama starts up again with a blogger that piles on Capital Z and McG. Johnny Depp is probably more convincing as a gangster than as a chocolatier.
Episode 146: Rubik’s Cube Hustler
June 9th, 2009 § 0
We are wrapping up our Harry Potter/wizard rock tour, and it might be a little different than you expected. Just when you thought it was impossible to make getting a driver’s license less fun, the Virginia DMV has found a way. We have some extremely mild pranksters getting the book thrown at them and McG’s decades-long quest to solve the Rubik’s Cube (after the outro music). You are going to stick it to the man after this one.
Episode 145: Accio This
June 5th, 2009 § 0
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Webkins has finally gotten on the case cleaning up crooked daycare centers. The real mystery is: how did the price of moonshine shoot up to 3 dollars an ounce? I guess if you are under the influence of white lightning, any price sounds reasonable. Our question of the week comes from Hotcakes! this time, and we catch up on overdue shoutouts. Stay tuned to the very end to avoid a permanent time out.
Episode 144: A Quick Exit

What’s more fun than buying an old funeral home and finding a few bonus corpses? Well that would be pushing someone off a bridge. No, wait! It would be having your shirt confiscated by the Texas Rangers. Be sure to check out the outtakes after the outro music, as Capital Z and McG thoughtfully compose their comment for their favorite wizard rock podcast on Podcast Alley. You’ll be saying wow every time.
